Being placed in one of the most representative areas in Bucharest for the mix between the historic value and the future brought by a very strong business district, the plot on which this project was developed was subject of an unsuccessful development in mid 90’s. After almost 10 years from this attempt a new developer revalue and redesign the office building initially proposed , respecting the A+ standard and all BCO Guide norms on one side and on the other side the historic context.

Yes, exactly the same situation as in Moscow… Ugly placement modern building absolutely without realizing of the context…

I can think of two buildings in Dublin alone that look like this. This building is clichéd and it’s juxtaposition beside the older buildings embarrassingly shows how far the standard of design has fallen.

a difficult context to conform to, but a handsome building on its own. out of place, but you’ve got to wonder what citibank insisted on despite an architects interests..

The concept of transparency in higher levels and the solid constructin in lower was a try to answer on a context? Could be better maybe with a bit different materials…
